Reloading Tutorial - You guys asked for it!

Alright so I've compiled a few short videos of handgun reloading. If you guys like it and are interested in bulk rifle loading, I'll cover that later as well.

Enjoy!

EDIT (again): Before diving into reloading, be sure you look at reloading manuals and gather as much information as possible. The risk of blowing up a gun (or yourself) is low since the loads in manuals are conservative anyway, but there is still a risk. Be extremely thorough and diligent before attempting reloading. This guide is simply here to give you an idea of what to expect when you start loading. Everyone has their own way of doing things and mine may not be the best. Use your own discretion.

Will do. It's my dad's bench. He's been loading rifle rounds forever. It was pretty easy for me to dial in and get my pistol stuff set up. It's a home-built bench but there are many good things online.

I bet if you went and searched for home made reloading bench ideas you could find some really good detailed stuff.

definitely need to add it.

You do such a good job of not overloading people's brains. You really show how simple it is.

My favorite thing about reloading is when you tell non-gun people and they're like "wow! you really are an expert!" Then you play it off like it's some hard process when it's really something a monkey could do It just takes a few times, then it's like riding a bike.

Once again, thanks!

Absolutely man.

People who like to deem themselves "experts" who reload like to overload people's brains at first. What they don't realize is they're really turning them off to the idea. It really is simple. I mean, with rifle loading, it can easily get complicated with all the measurements, but for pistols it's a piece of cake.

I like getting more people involved because they realize how fun it really is. You have so much control over everything.

Also, you don't have to rely on Walmarks having stock all the time. You just order your reloading gear in bulk (I buy by the 1000) and then you load at your own pace. It's nice always having the gear for it on-hand.
